![]() ![]() Although written nearly forty years ago, Seven-Day Magic has a timeless feel, even if the adventures seem a bit tame by modern standards. The children return the book to the library and wonder who will find it next. Disaster almost strikes again when the friends wish themselves at a television rehearsal and it nearly costs one of their fathers his job on a show. Bodecker includes books Half Magic, Knights Castle, Magic by the Lake, and several more. ![]() Another adventure starts when the children are transported back in time with grandmother and nearly perish in a blizzard. The Tales of Magic book series by Edward Eager & N.M. Along their way, the children meet a dragon, a wizard, and the baby and little girl from Half Magic, another Eager book. Five children discover a mysterious red book at the library and eventually they discover that it's writing the story of their own wishful adventures-a story they make up as they go, and then witness coming to life in the red book's pages. However, Seven- Day Magic can just about stoop to the challenge. It's hard for any book with magic in it not to pale next to the Harry Potter phenomenon. ![]()
